"The answer [from Valencia] was 'no' because negotiations with Real Madrid are very advanced," [Chelsea scout Juan Cruz] Sol said. "So there's no possibility Villa will go to Chelsea because he wants to go to Real Madrid."

It's been a crazy day. We're currently trying to figure out who's out at Madrid and what the starting line-up looks like next season. It's like playing fantasy futbol and it's only crazier if they land David Villa. Our collective thinking in a post tomorrow.

At least it hasn't been a bore waiting for the Confederations Cup to start.

Madrid is a "public trust". Interested parties (personal, business, and governmental) will make funds available at otherwise unavailable rates on the credit market to ensure that the Madrid "public trust" is bettered...And Perez won his presidential battle by aligning more of these sources behind him then his opposition. And Madrid make insane amounts of cash on "branding" throughout the Spanish-speaking world. Kaka and CR7 will pay back their "fees" in the first year in jerseys, etc, if the numbers I've seen are correct (IF)?
